In the Shadow of a Dream

by James Morrison

on Higher Than Here (2015)

If it wasn't for the darknessI'd be a stranger to the dreamingTakes a heart to feel so helplessTo find something to believe in

What can we hold on to?If we can't hold on to each otherAfter all that they've put us throughIt'd be a shame to let the dream slide from view

Don't tell me I'm crazy'cause madness has saved me, from being held down for so longSo tell me my minds goneAnd we're not all made from the same flesh and bones, say I'm wrong

In the shadow of a dream babeOur love can growWhen you are down on your knees babeThere's only one way to goIn the shadow of a dream babeWe'll find tomorrowOr we'll fight till the day is done

Well who are we without forgivenessWhat's a saint without a sinnerDon't be scared to show your weaknessBrings us all closer together

What can we hold on to?If we can't hold on to each otherWell there is nothing that we can't doWith a fire in our hearts, we can fly to the moon

Don't tell me I'm crazyCause madness has saved me, from being held down for so longSo tell me my minds goneAnd we're not all made from the same flesh and bones, say I'm wrongIn the shadow of a dream babeOur love can growWhen you are down on your knees babeThere's only one way to goIn the shadow of a dream babeWe'll find tomorrowOr we'll fight till the day is done

Shadow of a dream babe, yeah

In the shadow of a dream babeOur love can growWhen you are down on your knees babeThere's only one way to goIn the shadow of a dream babeWe'll find tomorrowOr we'll fight till the day is done

If it wasn't for forgivenessWould I know the comfort of your shoulder?If I'd never known your kindnessThe world would feel so much colder
